U.S. state of Arizona files consumer fraud lawsuit against Google

 

May 27 (Reuters) - Arizona filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against Alphabet Inc's Google on Wednesday, alleging that the U.S. tech giant used "deceptive" and "unfair" practices to obtain the location data of users.

 

"Google collects detailed information about its users, including their physical locations, to target users for advertising. Often, this is done without the users' consent or knowledge," Attorney General Mark Brnovich said https://twitter.com/GeneralBrnovich/status/1265770310508466183 in a tweet on Wednesday.

 

The suit comes as technology companies have been facing regulatory scrutiny globally over their policies and data monitoring practices.

 

"The Attorney General and the contingency fee lawyers filing this lawsuit appear to have mischaracterized our services. We have always built privacy features into our products and provided robust controls for location data", a Google spokesman said in an emailed statement.

 

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and argues that the maker of the Android smartphone operating system had set its mobile software such that it deceived device owners about the protections afforded to their personal data.

 

"When consumers try to opt out of Google's collection of location data, the company is continuing to find misleading ways to obtain information and use it for profit," Brnovich said in an interview with the Washington Post.

 

In February, New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas sued Google, alleging that its educational software collects young students' personal information without the required parental consent.

Police chief: Much of riot damage caused by those from outside Minneapolis

 

An "all-out effort" is being made to stop the violence and destruction.

After a night of destruction caused by rioting in south Minneapolis, city leaders say they are going to do everything they can going forward to ensure a similar outcome doesn't happen in the coming days.

 

Mayor Jacob Frey said that "we will have an all-out effort to restore peace and security" in Minneapolis, with Chief of Police Medaria Arradondo said criminal behavior seen in the last 24 hours will not be allowed.

 

"If individuals, as it occurred last night, are committing behavior and acts which are criminal … if they're looting those stores, if they're robbing people … if they are setting buildings and structures on fire, which are harming the safety of our elderly and our youth, I cannot allow that," Arradondo said.

 

"I know that there is currently deficit of hope in our city," he added, noting that Minneapolis Police Department has a played a role in that deficit, most recently being involved in the in-custody death of 46-year-old George Floyd. "But I will not allow to continue to increase that deficit by re-traumatizing our folks in our community."

 

Arradondo noted that the majority of protesters were peaceful, but there was a "core group of people causing some destruction," including much of the damage believed to have been caused by non-Minneapolis residents.

 

"I will just say it was clear to me and hearing from local community leaders that many of the people involved were not known Minneapolitans," Arradondo said.

 

"There were certainly those not recognized as being from the city."

 

"This work is about protecting community. This work is about protecting infrastructure needed to get through this pandemic together," Frey said. "Our communities need grocery stores for food, we need banks for cash, we need pharmacies for medication."

 

Grocery stores and pharmacies were among the dozens of businesses looted and damaged, some even completely destroyed, during riots late Wednesday into Thursday morning.

 

According to Minneapolis Fire Department, crews responded to at least 30 fire calls in the city, including 16 structure fires.

 

Arradondo explained that a unified command system has been established, giving MPD resources and support from surrounding law enforcement agencies and the Minnesota State Patrol.

 

In addition. Mayor Frey confirmed that he is asking for support from the National Guard.

 

"Yes. I have made that phone call to the governor and it has been requested," said Frey, though he didn't know if Gov. Walz would grant the City of Minneapolis support from the Guard.

 

There were some reports of injuries to police officers and community members, though none were serious a result directly related to the protesting.

i do pray. multiple times every day. i'm not on the shill's side. i trust Q's plan and i trust God's plan. but those who don't should shut up and do something themselves. call their representatives, protest, exercise their first amendment rights instead of crying like little babies.
